"This old piece of music keeps her name like a flower pressed in a book". 520 $a "Southern women of all classes, races, and walks of life practiced music during and after the Civil War. Candace Bailey examines the history of southern women through the lens of these musical pursuits, uncovering the ways that music's transmission, education, circulation, and repertory help us understand its meaning in the women's culture of the time. Bailey pays particular attention to the space between music as an ideal accomplishment-part of how people expected women to perform gentility-and a real practice-what women actually did. At the same time, her ethnographic reading of binder's volumes, letters and diaries, and a wealth of other archival material informs new and vital interpretations of women's place in southern culture. A fascinating collective portrait of women's artistic and personal lives, Unbinding Gentility challenges entrenched assumptions about nineteenth century music and the experiences of the southern women who made it"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women musicians $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Musicians $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Women $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Women $z Southern States $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Music $x History $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Music and race $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Binder's volumes (Music) $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Music and race. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030486 650 7 $a Music $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030444 650 7 $a Musicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030837 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 650 7 $a Women musicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178182 650 7 $a Women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176947 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bailey, Candace, 1963- $t Unbinding gentility $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2021. $z 9780252052651 $w (DLC) 2020045522 830 0 $a Music in American life. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021232.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=940C9D04323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
